guerrilla raids
Hit-and-run attacks
Guerrilla raids are surprise attacks conducted by small, mobile forces against a larger or more conventional enemy.
The raids typically target supply lines, outposts, or infrastructure before the attackers quickly withdraw: The rebels launched guerrilla raids on government convoys.
The tactic emphasizes speed, disruption, and avoiding prolonged engagement rather than holding territory.
